That the action of the Government in issuing
n call for the purchase of fourteen millions in
bonds was wise and timely, Is the opinion of able
aud experienced tinaneiers in all portions OF the
country, and there is also n general feeling that
II financial crisis was narrowly averted-due
directly to the constant aud enormous absorb
ton of tho currency by the immense surplus that
continues to accumulate with startling persist

business firms, in some great commercial centres
ut the Union, that were absolutely unable to
place loans, with the best collateral, at % per
cent. The ready response to the Trcasury's
measure Of relief has been 50 satisfactory that 1t
is believed that there VIII be no further tiphtness
generally seriously felt in the money market,
until CONGRESS win have the opportunity to pro-
